India is the largest producer of chickpeas, also known as Bengal gram or chana. Chickpeas are a self-pollinated, annual herb that is high in protein. The leaves and pods contain malic acid and oxalic acid that give them a sour taste and potential medicinal uses. Chickpeas are grown mainly for their seeds, which are consumed in dishes like dhal and used to make snacks and sweets. Major producing states in India are Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan. The crop requires cool temperatures during vegetative growth and warmer weather during maturity. Pests like pod borers can significantly reduce yields and are managed through integrated practices including biological and chemical
• Seed culture is an important technique when explants are taken from in vitro-derived plants and in propagation of orchids.
• Embryo culture represents the earliest technique to obtain viable offspring following interspecific and intergeneric hybridizations where routine fertilization failed to produce a well-defined and full-term embryo.
• Embryo rescue holds great promise not only for effecting wide crosses, but also for obtaining haploid plants as well as for shortening the breeding cycle.
Production of PROM (Phosphate Rich Organic Manure): An Emerging Biofertilizer, Manufacturing of PROM Fertilizer - Toward a Sustainable Agriculture
Phosphate rich organic manure is a type of fertilizer used as an alternative to di ammonium phosphate and single super phosphate Phosphorus is required by all plants but is limited in soil, creating a problem in agriculture. In many areas phosphorus must be added to soil for the extensive plant growth that is desired for crop production. The solubility depends upon PH of the soil, ambient condition and bacteria present in the soil.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

rounded
Irregular, wrinkled, various colors Smooth, pale cream colour
(17 to 26g/100 seeds) (>26g /100g seeds)
constitutes 85% production constitutes 15% production
2n= 14, 16 2n= 16
Small, bushy plant Tall, erect plant
Higher yield Lesser yield
5
7. Desi Kabuli Introgression
• Desi Kabuli introgression refers to the process of incorporating
traits from the Desi (small-seeded) chickpea variety into the Kabuli
(large-seeded) chickpea variety or vice versa through controlled
breeding.
• The objective is introducing desirable traits such as disease
resistance, drought tolerance, improved yield, and nutritional
quality .
• Example-
1) (kabuli x desi) x kabuli for improvement towards kabuli type
2) (kabuli x desi) x desi for improvement towards desi type.
6
8. Soil & Climate:
Soil:
• Grown wide range of soil from sandy loam to clay loams.
• pH >8.5 is not suitable.
• Cannot grow in alkaline soil.
• Well drained, fertile, organic matter rich, good ventilation
Climate :
• Long day plant, prefers cool climate (19-230C) during vegetative and warm
temperature during maturity.
• Frost at flowering cause flower drop.
• Grows up to 1800 MSL and well distributed rainfall 800 mm
7
9. Seed Rate, Spacing and Sowing
Seeds Rate :
• Kabuli: 80-100 kg ha-1,
• Desi: 60-75 kg ha-1.
Spacing :
• Desi: 30 x 10 cm
• Kabuli: 45 x 10 cm
• Depth: 6-8 cm
Sowing:
• Line (Plough sole, seed drill) at 30 cm for desi type & 45 cm for Kabuli type & 8-10
cm depth.
• Delayed sowing restricts the vegetative growth and pod bearing branches, decreases
BNF and may also lead to incidence of helicoverpa pests.
8
10. Nutrient Management
FYM / Compost:
• 7.5 t ha-1 Bio-fertilizer: Rhizobium & PSB – 400 g each (seed treatment)
NPK (kg ha-1):
• Rainfed: 12.5:25:25 ; Irrigated: 25:50:50
• Pulses generally need less nitrogen as they have capacity to fix
atmospheric nitrogen through BNF
• But, pulses need more phosphorus for their better root proliferation and
sulphur for synthesizing sulphur containing amino acids
• The pulse crops may also need more of micronutrients like molybdenum
which is the integral part of constituent of nitrogenase, which is essential
for nitrification
9
11. Seed Treatment in Pulses:
1.Seed treatment in legumes is commonly done using systemic fungicides
like thiram, captan, brassicol, and carbendazim at a rate of 2-3 g per kg of
seed.
2.The seed treatment should be performed at least 3 days before sowing.
3.Rhizobium culture is used in seed treatment to take advantage of its
capability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in root nodules through BNF
(biological nitrogen fixation).
4.Nitrogen fixation in legumes is influenced by the host plant, microsymbiont
(Rhizobium), soil properties, moisture, nutrient status, soil microflora, and
environmental factors.
5.Different legume species and even cultivars within a species can vary
significantly in nodulation, indicating the importance of host factors in
determining nodulation.
10
12. Seed Treatment in Pulses:
1.Moisture stress and excessive moisture (waterlogging) negatively affect
Rhizobial population and BNF. Anoxia in waterlogged conditions leads to poor
BNF.
2.Deficiencies in essential plant nutrients, particularly phosphorus and
molybdenum, significantly decrease BNF. Molybdenum deficiency directly
influences BNF as it is an integral component of the nitrate reductase enzyme.
3.Increasing soluble salts and extreme soil pH levels reduce BNF. However,
Rhizobia generally exhibit higher tolerance to soil salinity and alkalinity
compared to host plants.
4.Commercially produced cultures of Bacillus polymixa and Bacillus megaterium
(PSB cultures) are available for inoculation. These cultures produce organic
acids that decrease soil pH, promoting the dissolution of insoluble
phosphates, which become available to plants.
5.Rhizobium and PSB cultures can be mixed together for seed treatment,
enhancing the potential benefits for legume crops.
11
13. Cropping System
Chick pea in rotation with cereal crops help in controlling soil borne
diseases.
1.Kharif fallow-chick pea
2.Rice-Chick pea
3.Pearl millet-Chick pea
4.Sorghum-Chick pea
5.Maize-Chick pea
Intercropping with wheat, barley, mustard and linseed in low results in
low pod damage as compared to sole cropping.
12
14. Water management
• Mostly grown as rainfed crop under residual moisture, doesn’t
require any irrigation.
Critical stages:
o Pre-flowering
o pod development
• Heavy irrigation is harmful, can’t withstand water logging & requires
proper drainage
13
15. Weed management
Weeding:
• One hand weeding, Interculture operation, PPI of
Fluchloralin (1 kg per hectare in 800-1000 liters of water )
or pre-emergent application of Pendimethalin
Nipping:
• Removal of apical buds at 30-40 DAS to increase
branching and flowering
14
16. Harvesting and Yield
Harvesting:
• Harvest when leaves turn reddish brown & start shedding either to
ground level with sickle or pluck by hand
• Allowed to dry, thresh through beating / trampling with bullocks and dry.
Yield:
• Rainfed: 8-10 q ha-1.
• Irrigated: 15-20 q ha-1
• Kabuli type: 25-30 q ha-1
15
17. COLLECTION OF ACIDS FROM CHICK PEA CROP
• The leaves and pods of Bengal gram on the growing crop
are coated with thin film of Malic acid (90-96%) and oxalic
acid (4-9%).
✓ They are encrusted on leaves and pods and dissolved on
dew and settles on plants during winter season due to this
the plants give sour taste.
✓ These Acids are considered to have some medicinal
properties and they may be collected and stored.
16
18. Procedure of Collection
• For collection of acids a thin clean piece of cloth like Muslin cloth is
spread over the crop during night.
• Acids are soaked in the cloths that are dissolved in dew during night.
• Now the cloth has been absorbed these acids and the cloth is
squeezed and thus acids are obtained.
• This process is to be repeated until all acids are collected.
• After the collection is over, allow the concentrate solution in sun to
evaporate and thus crystallization takes place.
• This crystallized acid is similar to the taste of vinegar.
• This is used for curing of indigestion and stomach complaints.
• About 4 – 4½ kg of acids may be obtained from 1 ha of crop.
17
19. Varieties:
Desi type: BDN-9-3, Co-3, 4, Vishal, JJ-11 (Wilt & drought resistant)

2.Pusa-1003: This variety is suitable for growing in irrigated
conditions. This variety is resistant to wilt.
3.Pusa-1053: This variety is suitable for timely planting in irrigated
conditions. It is essential to wilt disease.
4.Sadabahar: Grains are green in color. It is tolerant to wilt.
19
22. Diseases
Sclerotinia Blight
• It is caused by a fungus Scleritinia sclerotiorum.
• The disease affects all the plants except the
roots. The infection in the initial stage is visible
on the stem near the ground.
• The affected plants first become yellow, then
brown and ultimately dry out.
• On close observation, brown colored spots may
be seen on affected stem which later girdle it.
• White cottony growth of the fungus with hard,
black colored sclerotia may be seen on these
spots on the stem.
CONTROL MEASURES :
1. Grow disease resistant varieties like G-543,
Gaurav, Pusa-261 etc.
2. soil with a mixture of fungicides like Brassicol
and Captan at the rate of 10 kg per hectare.
Grey Mold
• This disease is caused by a fungus Botrytis
cinerea survives in the soil.
• Brown necrotic spots appear on twigs, petioles, leaves
and flowers of the plant on attaining full vegetative
growth.
• The branches and the stem also get affected parts. The
affected stem finally breaks and the plant dies.
CONTROL MEASURES :
1.Plant the crop late i.e. first fortnight of November.
2.Spray the crop with 0.2% carbendazim (Bavistin).
21
23. Diseases
Rust
• This disease is caused by a fungus Uromyces
ciceris arietini.
• Small, round to oval, light or dark brown
pustules are formed on the under surface of the
leaves. The pustules later turn black.
• Afterwards, these pustules appear on upper
surface of leaves, petioles, twigs and pods.
• The affected leaves pre-maturely fall and
therefore the yield is considerably reduced.
CONTROL MEASURES :
1. With the appearance of first symptoms, spray
the crop with 0.2% Mancozeb 75 WP followed
by two more sprays at 10 days interval.
2. Plant only resistant varieties like Gaurav, etc..
Ascochyta Blight
• This disease is caused by Ascochyta rabi, a fungus which survives
on plant trash left in the soil.
• All the plant part except the root is affected.
• Small round, yellowish-brown spots are seen on the leaves .
• The spots also spread to petioles and branches where they are
elongated and become dark brown in color.
• The affected plants finally dry up.
CONTROL MEASURES:
1. Before planting treat the seed with fungicides like Thiram or
Carbendazim (Bavistin) at the rate of 2.5 g/kg of seed.
2. Plant resistant varieties/tolerant varieties like G-543, Pusa-256,
Gaurav, GNG-146, PBG-1 etc.
22
24. Insect Pest
Cutworm
• Gram cutworm is a serious pest in low
lying areas where fields are cloddy.
• The larvae of this insect remain hidden
under these clods during the day time
and cause damage during the night.
• The caterpillars cut the plants at
ground level.
Control :
• Spray Quinalphos 25 EC @ 2ml/L
water or Profenophos 50EC @ 2ml/L
water.
Gram Pod Borer
• Causes damage up to 75 per cent reduction in yield.
• The caterpillar defoliates the tender leaves, makes
holes in the pods and feed upon the developing
grains.
Control :
• Spray insecticides like – Novaluron 10% EC @
750ml/haor Chlorpyriphos 20% EC @ 2500ml/ha.
• Erecting a T shaped wooden structure @ 35-40/ha
for insectivorous birds.
23
25. Integrated pest management practices of
gram pod borer
1) Cultural management
• October sown crops generally escapes the attack of gram pod borer as
timely sown crop usually completes its podding much before the peak
activity of Helicoverpa.
• Avoid dense or closed planting
• Deep ploughing of field in summer season
• Use of sex pheromone trap (5 traps per ha)
• Intercropping with wheat, barley, mustard and linseed in low results in
low pod damage as compared to sole cropping.
24
26. Integrated pest management practices of
gram pod borer
2) Biological control
• Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV) has been found very effective for
the control of Helicoverpa and it uses at 250 larvae equivalent at an
interval of 10-12 days has given good control
Threshold – One larve per 5 or 10 plants at flowering/ poding stage
3) Chemical control
• Use of selective pesticides like Fenvelerate 0.01%, Chloropyriphos,
monocrorophos 0.04% is advised when pest crossed economic
threshold level.
25

P more- better root development, cold resistant
Molybdenum- integral part of constituent of nitrogenase, which is essential for nitrification
Seed treatment in legumes is commonly done using systemic fungicides like thiram, captan, brassicol, and carbendazim
systemic fungicide - a compound that is taken up by a plant and is then translocated with in the plant, thus acting on the surface of application as well as in within.
Rhizobium culture is used -fix atmospheric nitrogen
Moisture stress and excessive moisture (waterlogging) negatively affect Rhizobial population and BNF. Anoxia(an absence of oxygen) in waterlogged conditions leads to poor BNF
PSB cultures- produce organic acids that decrease soil pH, promoting the dissolution of insoluble phosphates, which become available to plants.
Thus, Rhizobium and PSB cultures can be mixed together for seed treatment, enhancing the potential benefits for legume crops.
Crop Rotation
Intercropping
improve aeration in the soil
During the winter season, thin film of these acids, settle on the leaves and pods of plants. These encrustations dissolve when they come in contact with dew, forming a liquid that settles on the plants. As a result, the plants acquire a sour taste.
Muslin cloth spread over the crop during night
Acids, soaked in the cloths that are dissolved in the dew during night , cloth then squeezed to obtain acids
allow the concentrate solution – evaporate in sun- crystallization takes place (tastes like vinegar)
This is a table with common pests and disease with their scientific names. So now lets study about some of the major pests and diseases of chickpea in detail.

Now we will see the two of the most damaging pests
1)Cutworm
2) Gram Pod Borer –
While feeding, the anterior body portion of the caterpillar remains inside the pod and rest half hanging outside.
When seeds of one pod are finished, it moves to the next.
As we have seen that Gram Pod Borer Causes damage up to 75 per cent reduction in yield, here are some Integrated pest management practices
1) Cultural management- Avoid dense or closed planting
• Deep ploughing of field in summer season
• Intercropping
2)Biological control – use of Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV)
3) Chemical control - Use of selective pesticides like - Chloropyriphos, monocrorophos 0.04%
